Chapter 370: Talking Bad About Li Mo in Front of Fei Yan, Aren’t You Seeking Death?
The now heated pool water made the Grand Priestess feel as if she were bathed in spring breeze.
Fei Yan’s previous remarks addressed her doubts.
Loulan was like a small boat lost in the desert.
Without a local guide, outsiders would never find this place.
Moreover, although this Li Wu was not the one who killed the former Grand Priestess, she had been the one who executed the body snatching.
It wasn’t surprising that they had found this location.
Additionally, among this group were a few experts from the Yin-Yang School.
The Yin-Yang School had always been proficient in astrology and divination.
They could rely on astrological signs to avoid losing their way in the desert.
As the Grand Priestess of Loulan, she understood this better than anyone.
The position indicated by the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon was precisely Loulan.
She had also heard the earlier conversation between Li Mo and Donghuang Taiyi.
After hundreds of years, the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon had finally been gathered, which was an additional reason for their arrival here.
But there was still one question.
As the chill around her dissipated, the Grand Priestess asked again, “So, you all came from the Central Plains to unravel the mystery of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?”
Li Wu replied coolly, “What else? Do we look like we’re here for a vacation?”
The Grand Priestess felt a bit awkward at her retort.
Through their interactions, she had recognized the personalities of a few of them.
This person named Li Wu seemed to have a bad attitude towards everyone except for that man.
The purple-haired woman with an eye veil remained indifferent.
It seemed she didn’t care about the outside world.
Overall, only the noble and elegant one in the middle appeared to be somewhat approachable.
Having hit a wall with Li Wu, the Grand Priestess decided to focus her conversation on Fei Yan.
She slowly said, “If that’s the case, you might have come here for nothing.”
Upon hearing this, Fei Yan’s expression tightened.
She bluntly asked, “What do you mean?”
Whether she could obtain what lay behind the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon was not important to her.
What mattered was that Li Mo wanted it!
But hearing the Grand Priestess’s words now, it seemed that the mysterious power behind the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon was not that easy to obtain.
Even though they had gathered the seven copper boxes and acquired what was inside.
Li Wu and the Moon Goddess cast questioning glances at the Grand Priestess.
The Grand Priestess felt like she was being stalked by three ferocious beasts; it made her incredibly uncomfortable.
Even in this warm pool, she could feel a chill creeping up her back.
“It is said that behind the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon lies a mysterious power, and possessing that power would allow one to control the entire world. However, that’s just a rumor,”
“The Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon have existed for so long that there have been people who tried to gather them previously.”
“If it truly granted control over the world, how could the Central Plains be in chaos, with factions fighting for hundreds of years?”
The exact appearance time of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon is hard to determine.
It can only be vaguely guessed that it originated from the era of the Yellow Emperor.
Now, after several thousand years of history, with such a lengthy span of time, it was unlikely that no extraordinary individuals had managed to assemble them.
The last known person to gather the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon was Duke Zheng of Zheng during the Spring and Autumn Period,
under whose reign the State of Zheng thrived for a time.
His power even overshadowed the Zhou Son of Heaven.
The Zhou Son of Heaven united four states to suppress Zheng, only to be defeated by Duke Zheng.
The people of the world were curious about the source of Duke Zheng’s power in becoming a hegemon, which was rumored to be greatly related to the mystery of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.
However, reflecting on it now, this theory contained a significant flaw.
If obtaining the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon granted the power to dominate the world, then Duke Zheng would have likely replaced the Zhou Son of Heaven long ago.
But now, having listened to the Grand Priestess’s words, the biggest issue arose.
Li Mo did not seek the power to dominate the world.
He wants immortality!
He wants to bring them along into immortality!
Fei Yan’s expression gradually turned grim.
It wasn’t because she was upset about not achieving immortality; rather, she was worried about how Li Mo would feel if he knew the truth.
Fei Yan was only concerned for him.
After all, for her, as long as she could stay by Li Mo’s side,
whether she could attain immortality wasn’t that important.
“What exactly is the power behind the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?”
Upon hearing Fei Yan’s question, the Grand Priestess shook her head without hesitation, saying, “I don’t know either; it’s just a legend.
The power behind it has never been possessed by anyone.”
“So what that power is, or even if such a power exists, remains a mystery.”
She initially thought that this statement would make Fei Yan even more despondent.
However, to her surprise, Fei Yan seemed to relax instead, a faint smile of relief appearing at the corners of her mouth.
The Grand Priestess looked at her with confusion, not understanding.
Fei Yan, smiling, responded, “Since we don’t know what it is, then it could be what he needs, couldn’t it?”
The Grand Priestess was taken aback for a moment, her lips twitching slightly,
as if speechless, she said: “Haha, you’re quite optimistic.”
Fei Yan set aside her previous concerns and gently wiped the warm water on her rounded shoulders with her delicate hands.
The water droplets slid down her fair shoulders like they were spilled on a fine jade screen.
“The unknown is yin and yang; before the mystery is unraveled, it is both yin and yang,”
which is the famous “Schrödinger’s Cat” theory from later generations.
Until the box is opened, there are countless possible states inside.
Similarly, before they truly unravel the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, immortality is also one of the outcomes.
The Grand Priestess nodded thoughtfully, seeming to ponder the theory Fei Yan had just presented.
After a moment, she drew her thoughts back, looking at the three exquisite women before her, and curiously asked:
“What is your relationship with that blindfolded one?”
It was obvious to anyone with eyes that these individuals centered around Li Mo.
Moreover, the woman’s sixth sense told the Grand Priestess that these few women seemed to have an even more extraordinary relationship with him.
Li Wu chose not to engage with her.
The Moon Goddess had little interest in answering.
Only Fei Yan smiled at the Grand Priestess and said: “Inner companions.”
The Grand Priestess’s brow twitched uncontrollably for a moment.
Her gaze flickered repeatedly over the three of them.
Each of these three, alone, was stunningly beautiful.
What was even more remarkable was their unique strength and status.
Yet somehow, these three extraordinary beauties willingly served one husband?
“Is there a problem?”
Li Wu keenly sensed the strange expression on the Grand Priestess’s face and suddenly asked coldly.
The Grand Priestess sighed lightly, saying: “I see that your own conditions are also quite outstanding; why rely on a man?”
“That man, while formidable, seems quite ordinary; what virtue does he possess that makes you submit?”
“Men are ultimately unreliable; he has as many inner companions as you do, so he must not be very loyal.”
“You three are so capable; why rely on a man?”
“In your Central Plains, women’s status has always been low; I suggest you stay in Loulan, where men and women are equal. What do you think of that?”
The Grand Priestess’s words slowed down.
Because she sensed the atmosphere growing colder around her.
When she raised her head, she realized that the previously kind and amiable Fei Yan now had murder in her eyes!
